“IceCube grew out of ideas developed in the early 1960s,” says @berkeleylab's Spencer Klein -- who worked on IceCube alongside Francis Halzen starting in the 2000s. “It’s worked far better than we could ever have expected when we were getting started.” physicstoday.aip.org/news/fr…

"Gravity is probably discrete, measured like electromagnetism, but what else could happen is a shockingly difficult question to answer," says @berkeleylab's Daniel Carney. newscientist.com/article/258…

“The holy grail of particle physics is to search and find things that disagree with the Standard Model,” says @BerkeleyLab's Aaron Manalaysay. “And dark matter is one of those, and that motivates everyone.”

Berkeley Lab’s cyclotron changed more than physics, it helped invent team science. Ernest O. Lawrence’s collaborative model became a blueprint for @ENERGY’s national laboratories. #Freedom250 #DOE

World’s most advanced gamma-ray detector is ready for science! Researchers will use the newly commissioned Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array, GRETA, to explore how stars form heavy elements and test the limits of the nucleus. @LBNLnuclearsci @michiganstateu newscenter.lbl.gov/2026/07/2…

At low energies, material around a fusion reaction isn’t just a container—it can change how often fusion occurs. @LBNLatap and @ucdavis researchers say the finding could guide neutron-source materials. #fusion newscenter.lbl.gov/2026/07/2…

The Berkeley Lab-led Multi-Office Particle Accelerator Team, an @ENERGY AI Genesis project, aims to “maximize the impact of #ArtificialIntelligence on current and future DOE #ParticleAccelerator facilities,” says @LBNLatap Senior Scientist Jean-Luc Vay, the project’s head.
The @ENERGY’s Genesis Mission “is enabling us to leverage AI to transform the design and operation of particle accelerators,” says our Senior Scientist Jean-Luc Vay, who heads the Multi-Office particle Accelerator Team project.

#Quantum noise sets the ultimate limit on what we can measure and control at the smallest scales. We're breaking down what it is, why it matters, and how researchers are working to overcome it. Watch to learn more. newscenter.lbl.gov/2026/05/2…

"We’re going to celebrate completion of the 3D map of the #universe and then churn through the data, because we’re all curious about what new surprises are waiting for us," says @BerkeleyLab's Michael Levi discovermagazine.com/desi-ex…

“DESI’s 5-year survey has been spectacularly successful,” says @berkeleylab's Michael Levi. “We’re going to celebrate completion of the original survey & get started on the work of churning through the data, because we’re all curious about what new surprises are waiting for us.”
A new map of the cosmos, including more than 47 million galaxies and other cosmic objects, represents one of the most extensive surveys of our universe ever conducted

“The @desisurvey is still the leading instrument like it in the world,” says @berkeleylab's David Schlegel. It completed its initial 5-year survey and mapped 47 million galaxies and quasars. The experiment will continue observations into 2028. newscientist.com/article/252…

The largest 3D map of our universe just got even bigger.
@DESIsurvey has mapped 47M galaxies and quasars. This tracks #DarkEnergy across 11B years.
Observations 🔭 continue through 2028.

“Beyond using #AI as a tool, I think really the interesting thing will be how does it transform the way we do science?” says Natalie Roe, a particle physicist and LBNL’s associate director @BerkeleyLabPSA.
